There are different arguments about the advantages and disadvantages of examinations.Some people believe that examination is the only way to test how well students have done in their studies and it is the only objective way for examiners to decide who is qualified and who is not.On the other hand,some do not think that examination can properly measure students" knowledge and abilities.Rather,they only bring students burden and anxiety.
I think examinations can show how well students have done in their studies.They can also show how well teachers have taught.According to the results of examinations,both students and teachers can find out what they should do to improve their work.Those who fail the exams may be aware of what is wrong with their studies and decide that they should continue to study.Exams may enable them to discover their problems.
In summary,the examination does more good than harm for both examinees and examiners.We should take a positive attitude toward it.We should take full advantage of it and avoid its disadvantages.
